Math Club First Meeting - Sums of four squares

The first meeting of the Math Club (formerly Math and Stats Society) will take place this Wednesday September 26 at 5:30pm in the lounge (McLean 201). Please join us!

Speaker: Jenna Rajchgot

Title: Sums of four squares

Abstract: Lagrange's four square theorem says that every non-negative integer can be written as a sum of four squares. I'll discuss this theorem and present a proof which, perhaps surprisingly, relies on convex geometry.

We hope to see you there!
